* **Reproduction Steps**:
* Flash the keyboard
* LEDs don't work anymore

* **Resulting Issue**:
* I have multiple issues when I flash the keyboard using `kiibohd-configurator-1.1.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage` and the wiki is not very helpfull. When I flash a new layout or a new firmware, this sometimes results no all LED permanently off, even if I reconnect the device. I cannot use Clt+Ctrl+F7 to play the next animation. Ctrl+Shift does not enable the bootloader mode anymore.
* I try to find out which version of firmware is actually on the keyboard. Is there a way to update to the latest version? And the bootloader version? I couldn't find a description how to update the bootloader
* I don't know why but there is Custom KLL Code in the configurator. Where does it come from and should it be there? Should I delete it?
* Does the Kiibohd Configurator actually create a completely new firmware image all the time? Sometimes I get different results when I flash the flash image twice. It seems to be pretty random. A step back to an older flash image sometimes revives the lighting and fixes the issues.

The firmware should be the same each time. Sometimes the LED controller can get confused depending on how the keyboard was put into flash mode (if you press the button on the back of the keyboard, for example, it's not possible to do a clean reset of the LED controller before jumping to the bootloader). Unfortunately this is a limitation of the LED driver chip used on this keyboard. One solution is to unplug and replug the keyboard after flashing the firmware. Another option that sometimes works is to press Fn+Shift+Esc (if you still have that KLL keymapping set), this will attempt to reset the LED state.

This happens to me a lot on the Kira even in 2023. Especially when I have a static animation configured as the startup animation, editing keys on layer one seems to break the LEDs even after disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. It happens both with the flash button, and with control shift escape flash combo. Rolling back to a previous version seems to help, and sometimes modifying the static animation or playing games unsetting and resetting the startup animation helps as well. The LEDs should not stop working randomly when the only change you make is a key assignment 😡
